The Virginia Tech Hokies took the field in South Florida to face the Miami Hurricanes for the first time under the watch of interim head coach, J.C. Price. Price is only the third head coach the Hokies have had in 35 years. Looking sharp in white jerseys and maroon helmets VT won the coin toss during a rainy night and elected to receive.
Burmeister and the Hokie offense took to the field, but the opening drive looked exactly like what we have seen all season when they went three-and-out. After a decent punt return by Miami, Tyler Van Dyke hit Charleston Rambo for a 39-yard reception down to the VT 16.
